Look closely at the men seated. Even though they are not immediate, an arm is around the waist, a hand on the shoulder. One gazes at the other. Their shoes touching. #EdwardianGay, #Fondness, #UnspokenGayClues

I never make fun of #Quebec #francophones. I'm an #Albertan who lived near #Montreal in the 70s. I LOVED living there. I always speak with great #respect and #fondness about my #life and #education there. The beautiful #folks (mostly bilingual francophones) I met there. I was sad to leave. #Canada

A ffectionate touch,
D esirous glance,
O verflowing love, needn't much,
R adiant warmth in each dance,
A dmiration clear in word,
T enderness, never blurred,
I ntense reverence, softly heard,
O verflowing fondness, undeterred,
N urturing care, forever stirred.

his hands enormous
scraped like sandpaper
eyes popped glaring
disguised as a father
so much #hostility
from the one who helped birth her
they say angels have a #fondness
for the tiniest among us
taking flight from heaven
sprinkling down
magical
stardust

Tucked into a hot teacup
Watching the snow fall

I’ve a fondness
For chocolate
Chips
And even cheese

My hips will tell you
It’s all true
Which probably
Isn’t ideal

But still I love them
Yes for sure
And my butt
Keeps it real

#blueskyrelay #fondness #keepingitreal 😬😆

apathy a drink for those
whose thirst
and repugnant fondness
fester in illusions of fame
and longing of tainted gold
red, their badge
of decency
sold

Zombie Seeks #Hostile Arrangement

I’ve a #fondness for
Brains, meandering shuffles ‘long
The landscape, searching
For oblivion and ways
To quell my undying need

There is a dichotomy
That exists within me
A #fondness of myself
And the mercy I've shown
Despite the war that I was born into,
And a #hostility
Towards the people who
Dressed me in the armor,
But gave me no weapon
And sent me to fight alone

#blueskyrelay

deposit of desires
spur of breath

both balm and blade

an #onslaught
that breaks and mends

lifting our ground

stirring our ashes
with #fondness

scorching our dark vaults with fire

I.
The years all fly by
A dragonfly lands nearby
Look back with #fondness

II.

The years all fly by
She has what belonged to me.
Dark #hostility.

laughter erupting
amidst slaughter
relentless madness
desperate incarnate
unholy alliance
swiping right
surging onslaughts
specious offers
golden coffins
austere afterthoughts
dispossessed
they wander
lost in fondness
for the rapture

Been held by the toxicity of hostility for too long!
Found this community, now I feel as though I belong.
To a brighter light of life and its built by a fondness.
That is beyond us. Beautiful correspondence, regardless.

When a tour bus caught a flat, Moe’s #roadhouse faced an #onslaught of upset patrons.
Moe served a smile & strong drinks; their #hostility became a #fondness for him & his #oasis.
Moe’s heart was as full as his till—& the box of tacks he kept for the road.

This #fondness
humanity seems to have
of making promises
of heaven on Earth
yet, stirring #hostility
and sabotaging itself,
are familiar to me
because I sometimes go
on stealthy reconnaissance missions
to assault myself
ruthlessly with misery
and take no prisoners
no, not even me.

The #blueskyrelay prompt for February 18 is #fondness and/or #hostility

He once had a fondness for hostility, until he learned to stop burning bridges.

Thank you, and have fun! 🐬✨🦋🐳

Thank you for being such a gracious host, Kemi! You help make Blueskyrelay the inviting place I envisioned it to be

Don't mistake #fondness and apathy.
